• Theater, as a major art form, encompasses expressions of the best that's in humankind.
  
• Theater has the potential to enrich, enliven, inspire, instruct and open minds and hearts to infinite possibilities.
  
• Theater is a communal activity, a team sport and can be satisfyingly collective.
  
• Theater is best made in a safe, supportive, collaborative atmosphere.
  
• There is inherent value for the theater artist in variety, controversy, challenge and change.

Consistent with our belief in the collaborative and transformative nature of theater and our goal to increase accessibility to theatrical experiences, the mission of Roving Park Players is to provide a variety of opportunities for members of the community to create and present to the community at large plays which enrich, enliven, inspire and challenge.
